New quick poem:

Garden Warfare

My neighbour gardens
like they are at war.
The power tools their artillery
the weedkiller their chemical agent.
Nature must be subdued
all wildness controlled.
I want the Earth to shout
what I can't
to fight back.
But it keeps the peace
like I.
It can only quietly
resist
by killing their brambles.
I can only hope
my organic words
take root
instead.

Reflections on the meaning of reciprocity and relationship with nature. My garden still only tolerates me I think, but I most definitely love it.

I wish I could press #Snowflakes in a #Book like #Flowers.

Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest #Hue to hold.

Her early #Leaf's a #flower;
But only so an hour.

Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So #Eden sank to #Grief,

So #Dawn goes down to day.
Nothing #Gold can #Stay.

- #RobertFrost 1874-1963

The Little Purple #Aster waits till very late,
Till the #Flowers all have faded from the #Garden gate.
Then when the #World is dreary, her #Buds have all unfurled,
They seek to #Cheer the everchanging, somber #Autumn world.

The #Autumn has tinged the #Trees with #Gold,
And crimsoned the #Shrubs of the #Hills;
And the full #Seed #Sleeps in the earth's #Bosom so cold;
And #Hope all the #Universe fills.

Though summers change and pass away -
Though dies the #Beauty of the hill and plain -
Though warmth and color fade each #Autumn day -
#Hope passes not, and abides to say
That our brightest #Joys shall all come again.

- George Arnold, American #Poet (1834-1865)

As we prepare for the coming week, remember to give #thanks for the #Garden and all that it adds to #Life on this #Earth.

May we be blessed with:

A little #Sun,
A little #Shower,
A tiny #Seed
A garden #Flower.

Alone on the slope of the #Mountain, it grew,
& bathed its light tresses in #Glittering #Dew
The #Bird on its boughs lingered loving & long,
And the #Stream at its feet ever murmured in #Song
It toyed with the #Winds, it was #Happy & #Free;
Oh! the #Silvery #Birch was a flourishing #Tree.

#Tigger and #Roo pushed each other about in a friendly way,
and #Kanga said,

"Now then, run along.
You can go and collect fir-cones."

So they went to the Six #Pine #Trees, and threw #Fir-#Cones at each other until they had #Forgotten what they came for.

~A.A. Milne

Have you seen at #Autumn Time
Green beads and red beads
Threaded on a #Vine?

Is there any #Handiwork
Prettier than mine?"

The #Morns are meeker than they were,
The #Nuts are getting brown;
The #Berry's cheek is plumper,
The #Rose is out of town.
The #Maple wears a gayer scarf,
The #Field a scarlet gown.
Lest I should be #OldFashioned,
I'll put a #Trinket on.

- Emily #Dickinson (1830-1886)
